Financial Aid and Payment of University Charges

Click here to view tutorial on how financial aid pays university charges.


December 8 is the deadline to pay the difference between all University charges (including registration and tuition fees, on-campus housing and board plan) and pending Spring 2017 financial aid. View your pending financial aid in the Finances/Account Inquiry section of your Student Center. After December 8, the fees box in the Finances section of your Student Center will continue to indicate tuition fees "Past Due" until your aid goes out.
No payments are necessary if you have sufficient pending aid to cover your Spring charges.
